Thanks guys...

 

After a building vibration, especially on hills, and excessive play in the front pulley, I had to remove the tranny. On my bench now draining oil until tomorrow. I want to open it up to see what is going on with it, even though I kinda know already. Still think I would like to send it to John if he's interested and can afford to pay him to do the job.
Sure do miss having two bikes !!!!

 

I hear that. I swear my bike is older than some of the techs that work at my dealer these days. Fortunately there is one guy there who still knows my bike. He was there back when it was new. He uncrated it and set it up when it came in, and he still works on it when it needs something I can't do. He uses it as a "teaching tool" to school the youngsters on how a "real" Harley works.

 

I always thought "loose" in the manual meant Not Installed...IE loose.
All bushings need to me measured/sized, after installation..the manual is telling you to measure to ensure you are starting out with a Bushing that will end up being useable, after installation..


BTW
If you put this in the Shovelhead section...you would have been done awhile ago...

 

It is in the shovel section, thought I would get more help there....

 

Damned if I didn't think I was in the EVO section...
I never had no luck with double posting...But...Ya never know...

 

Yeah, I figured the most experienced people with the four speed will be poking around the shovel or older sections but I also like to keep the evo guys up to speed on what is going on with my bike/tranny issues... not that too many guys care but some are still reading, learning, taking it all in regardless that most run five and six speeds.

We'll get this box straightened out either way, she's just feeling a little tired...

 

Back on the road again, everything seems great this time. Most of the tranny looked great but it took $650 to make it sweet again, hope she stays dry for a long time. Parts list in my shovel thread for the curious ones....
Vibration gone and no leaks.

 

Hey Glide, What did you find?
